How to Get Lady Gaga's Cover Look

Lady Gaga, photographed exclusively for V.F. by Nick Knight in Los Angeles.Toward the top of Lady Gaga's C.V. should be "trend-setter." Her one-of-a-kind fashion, which earned her a spot on V.F.'s International Best-Dressed List this year, inspired a generation of stars to go sans pants in public and onstage. Her unconventional way of using makeup and wacky hairstyles are enough to cause a sensation. The fame-monster works a whole new beauty look on the September cover of Vanity Fair. For the shoot, Gaga traded in her more usual structured bleached-blond do for long and loose gray locks. To match her hair, her makeup was futuristic glam, with silver gray lids and pale pink lips. When the V.F. cover went viral on the Web, fans all over the world wondered what nail color Gaga was wearing. (See an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of the shoot here.)
